Bribed wife to swap with my car

CQH

written on 03-31-2016

We traded my wife's Cayenne Diesel for Macan S as our kids are older now and our youngest will now drive in a year. I loved driving it so much that I bribed her to take my 2014 BMW 535iX mSport and a promise that she can pick a luxury sedan when the BMW's lease comes up in 5 months. The Macan S is now my daily driver into Manhattan and it's a pleasure to drive. It's pretty comfortable, extremely tight and fun to drive. I got the White Ash interior package which is very unique and extremely high-end looking. Just feels like a million bucks when driving. The only knock on it is the base stereo is not very good (I overlooked it because I liked the White Ash interior so much and didn't want to wait 3 months). The S is plenty of power with 340 hp. Turns heads and just... so much fun to drive.

If you are in the market for a fun SUV to drive with responsive handling and luxury appeal, don't look any further. This truly is 911 in a SUV package. If you are looking for a spacious SUV with lots of space and drive is not a big factor for you, you will be happy looking elsewhere.

Owning a Porsche generally means giving up on some degree of practicality in terms of having a car that is a "daily driver". The Macan lets those of us with kids still in car seats have the opportunity to enjoy Porsche's legendary performance in a vehicle that is at home at the mall as it is on the track. The highest levels of performance come on the GTS model, but the "S" model offers plenty of acceleration and more capability than most drivers will ever exploit. The 18 way power seats are phenomenal and a worthwhile upgrade. The "premium plus" option includes keyless entry and ignition as well an upgraded sound system and ventilated/ heated seats. The 2017 model year has an upgraded touch screen navigation that is better than previous models, but not nearly as user friendly as some of the competitions. The packages will easily turn this $54,000 car into $70-90,000 car, but nobody walks into this purchase expecting a great value.

Overall I am very please with my Macan S 2016! I have owned a 1981 SC Porsche and a 2003 Carrera Cabriolet, (996). The Macan S sport SUV compact come very close to giving me a similar driving experience, especially driving in the sport mode, however it's not a Carrera. I am enjoying the overall performance, acceleration, braking and road handling from my Macan S. The transmission (PDK) is outstanding and its make the Macan fun to drive.

Excellent

Great car. Some electronic quirks(after 4,000 miles the mirrors starting folding in on door looking) not Mercedes ergonomics but excellent drive. Quiet and powerful.

Best ride around
